transparency turns white, and you can't undo it
this is the one thing worth knowing before you convert. jpg has no way to store a transparent pixel, so cozyconvert paints the canvas solid white before drawing your image onto it. anywhere your png was see-through, the output is #ffffff.
for a photo or a screenshot with no transparency, nothing changes. for a logo, an icon, a sticker, or a cutout, you get a white rectangle around the artwork, and no amount of editing afterwards brings the transparency back.
a quick way to check first: open the png and drop it onto a dark background. if you see a white or checkered box appear around it, that area is transparent and it will become white. keep the png in that case, or use a lossless format instead.
what the quality slider does here
jpg is a lossy format, so the slider is live for this conversion. it is passed straight to the browser's jpeg encoder. the default sits at 85, which is a deliberate middle.
95–100
very close to the source, but the file can end up larger than your original png on flat graphics. only worth it if the jpg is going to be edited or printed again.
85–94
the safe range for anything going on a website or into an email. artifacts exist but you have to look for them.
70–84
noticeably smaller files. fine for photographs, rough on screenshots, text, and hard edges, where you'll start to see haze around the letters.
below 70
visible blocking in skies, gradients, and flat colour areas. useful when you need a thumbnail and nothing else.
if the result looks wrong
the background went white
expected, not a bug. your png had transparency. see the section above.
the colours look flatter than the original
the browser draws through a canvas, which works in srgb. if your png was saved in a wide gamut profile like display p3, saturated colours get mapped down and can look duller. images already in srgb, which is most of them, come through unchanged.
the jpg is bigger than the png
happens with flat colour graphics, logos, and simple screenshots. png compresses large blocks of identical colour extremely well, and jpg doesn't. if your png is already small, converting it may not be worth doing.
"image dimensions are too large for safe browser conversion"
your image is over roughly 40 megapixels. that's about 6000 × 6600 pixels. resize it first, or convert it in a desktop editor.
"this image could not be decoded"
the file didn't open as a real png. usually a file that was renamed rather than exported, or a corrupted download. open it in an image viewer and re-export it as png.
what doesn't come along
the converter decodes your png to pixels and re-encodes those pixels as jpg. anything that wasn't a pixel is left behind:
- — embedded metadata, including capture date, camera and lens, and any gps coordinates
- — the png's colour profile, since output is written as srgb
- — any text chunks, comments, or copyright fields stored in the png
for most people this is a feature. if you're publishing photos and would rather not ship your location alongside them, this conversion quietly strips it. if you need that metadata kept, convert with a desktop tool instead.
